Inspiration

This little rug is in front the sink in our half-bath. I love it. Can't you see making a big cat (or big anything) with strings like this?And I saw this ad in the most recent issue of Cooking Light. I wanted to find this image on the web, but couldn't, so I have to use the washed out photo I took of it. I love cityscapes anyway, and was enchanted by the thought of using a black fabric with spattered dots to show a skyline with lights in the buildings.And while I was looking at the picture, I noticed the writing was upside down. So I turned it over.Now the lights in the buildings are out, but you can see the stars in the sky. Absolutely wonderful! This is an ad for Earth Hour, which is sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund to publicize the effects of climate change. They are asking everyone to turn off their lights for an hour at 8:30 pm local time on March 28. Please check out their website for more information and to find out how you can participate. Such an incredible ad!And finally, here's an I Spy I delivered to a friend's son this evening. So much fun!

Hi Cheri, what a great rug! It would be wonderful to use that idea in strip or string piecing..what a bright girl you are!I love the scattered light pic you show, and it's a tesselation, better yet!The I Spy is such fun, what a lucky little boy to receive it. Keep up the great work! Hugs, Finn
